The paradox has captivated great creators throughout history, as is the case of Jorge Luis Borges who wrote: “The crystal spies on us. If within the four Walls of a bedroom a mirror stares, I am no longer alone. There is someone there. In the dawn reflections mutely stage a show.“ full concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCeSwTLtQN8 ❖Event Producers: Emanuele Maria Fiammetti William Väänänen ❖Audio engineer: Ian Whiteford ❖Video Editor: Federico Jacobi ❖Post production coordinator: Matías Nielsen ❖Thanks to: Inga och Georg Kopelius minnesfond Malmö Rådhus Anna Palmer Malmö Academy of Music ___ https://www.connectfestival.se
